Every parent must be able to distinguish between tuition fees and school fees.

You do not only pay tuition and believe you have met the obligatory school fees payment. The private school is not a charity organization, they do not get reliefs from the government, and it is up to them to decide what to do with debtors.

It is the job of the PTA of the school to look into this and decide if it sits well with them, not the general public or law enforcement.

Hear from the school first. There is more to the incident than this simplistic narrative. What this mum claims is a mere complaint may actually have been a dirty smear campaign against the school. Never allow one idiot spoil your business. Cut them off before they succeed!

If you don't run a private business, just shut the up! You don't know the destructive damage one blackmailing client or customer can inflict on your establishment.

We don't run school but we run businesses and private schools are nothing but businesses that offer service instead goods.
Sadly, extortion is the order of the day as far as Nigeria private schools are concerned and some people school owners are more daft than others when it comes to extortion. And it is getting worse.

You're so wrong! You are aiding illegality

what exactly is the illegality here Oga, u took your kids to a private sch and they gave you a bill of compulsory payment, and you said you won't pay some and pay others..... Even in some schs they pay developmental fees, PTA fees and it's compulsory, if your parents like make dem no attend PTA, you must pay.....

.but we need to hear from the school b4 coming to conclusion

what do you want to hear from the school again ? Guys like you encourage impunity with such careless talk. The ministry of education has rules and regulations for schools to abide by, please point out where it says students must pay party fees or be expelled. Sometimes, you fence sitters should try using your heads

The school has already gotten the traffic and is looking for shinkena

But they enjoyed the party dividends after not paying? 😂
15k for just party is a cool cashout tho

Most private schools these days are a joke

There is nothing wrong with what the school has done. Parent take school as a joke. School have rules and parents have a right to take their children elsewhere if they find the school objectionable.

The school has even been gracious to return the school fees without deductions.

The payment of fees and levies is a fundamental and implied term of a school - parent contract. If it is broken a school has the right to terminate the contract.


Aunty's Joy school if you are reading this well played. Other entitled parents will hear you loud and clear.

..not long before school resumed for a new term/session and they already want to organize party..is it end of the term.or year party or

After paying school fees?.. they are not serious

When a school is named Aunty joy...what do you expect .. women and Money ?

Port8080:
This is a wakeup call for these private schools to be regulated. They should not be left to do what they like with our kids, but rather a common standard should be created for all private schools, and non compliance strictly punished!

Funny enough, what you should realize is that the same people who are supposed to do the regulations are the owners of most private schools directly or indirectly through their brothers, sisters, family , church mosque etc so they can't regulate themselves.

There shouldn't be anything like a private individual owning a nursery, primary and secondary school in a developing country like Nigeria. If it's going to be private then it has to be owned by an institution or organization but not a private citizen anything apart from that is just the same rubbish that we had been having since the 1990s when these crazy nonsense things called private school started in Nigeria.

You're so on point. She will be a very troublesome one and perhaps uncouth. I once managed my uncle's school during a break while in higher institution and I realised lots of parents are so hard to work it and will even down the nuisance gene on the kids. I can one who never does whatever the school deems right and will also poison the mind of other parents. She can also be so combative with words and she's always the first to compare the standard of the school with the schools around. Funnily, the same thing those schools do are stuffs we tried inclucating. After a while, I made sure her kids (3) were expelled not to come again as her shenanigans was affecting the greater good. I'm damn sure she won't say the story the way it was if she's to tell the bigger audience.

Nice move. I will always ask people to defend their establishment by all means. It takes a lot of years of diligence to break even in any business. Only a fool will fold their arms and watch one bitter soul tear it down. I am very pro-establishment.

Protect your private business or organization by all lawful means! Nor let one stupid staff or client come spoil your hard labour. Most people who work or speak against organizations have never founded one by themselves. They don't know the cost of starting up something from ground zero.

To start up, sometimes you starve yourself, you borrow money, you beg family for funds, you sell your valuables, you deny yourself of simple pleasures, and then one devil comes along thinking it's fun to tear it down. Na to cure their madness!

Usmanovic95:
There are 3 sides to this story. The parents,the school management and the actual truth.The school can't just expel student because of a petty reason of not paying party fee.

You make me laugh 😂

You obviously don't know the wickedness of private schools.

GetMeRight:


There are only two sides to any story.
And the school can expel students for petty things like this when the school owner doesn't even know what is legal and what is illegal most especially when the name of the is Aunty Joy School

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

School owner spotted.

Really?

Take your money and go....just like "go to court"

Private schools these days are all about money. Imagine paying 500k+ because your child wants to participate in interhouse sports march past after school fees.

Extracurricular activates that we did for free is now billed.

It's lawlessness at it's peak.

But then, that's Nigeria for you.

First off, it's a private school.
Their building. Their rules.
While you're busy manipulating your kind her with you half-truths, be sure to tell them how you were pre-informed that payment is mandatory before accepting to enroll your kids there and how instead of negotiating with the authorities, you chose to freely unleash your tongue at the teachers/owner alike (I dare you to deny this!) like you can stage little kids for 30mins nonstop with impactful knowledge.
IMO, the school helped you out a great deal with that unavoidable decision you selfishly refused to take.before it got to this point.
Take your kids to a government school where no one will force you to pay anything.
Enough of this public display of sickening self-entitlement over another person's hard work and business.

lawlessness on whose path pls? The woman is the one not following the sch rules, like I told someone earlier, I would have had a problem with the sch if she wasn't refunded her money, she should take her child to a sch where some payments are optional.... I don't know which sch you attended but if it's a government sch, PTA levy was compulsory back then, will you say because my parents won't attend the PTA meeting so I won't pay? Na government sch bdat oh, not now to talk of private

Privates schools will never expel their students withiout extremely absurd reasons. Their business is solely depends on number of students, so why would they expel them because of party fees.

Like you'd rightly said, let hear from the school authority before we jump into conclusions. This woman must have embarrassed everyone including the school owner before such action was taking.

Exactly…. Only sensible comment I’ve seen here. I’ve followed you cos of this comment. Expecting to see more non-sentimental and emotional backed comments like this that exposes the hypocrisy of Nigerians. A private business has the right to expel any students for not paying “gate fee, or pissing fee, or standing fee” it’s their of service, even if it’s ridiculous. But as usual , poor Nigerians are holding opinions

if the sch had said they won't return her sch fees now, that's where I'll have a problem...she can take her kid to another sch where some payments are optional..... Small sch matter, u Don chuk politics...I'm against injustice of any kind, this matter here no be injustice.... If they were expelled will they return the kids sch fees?

No mind the hypocrite MrDoGood, he’s calling for intervention against injustice, I just pray real
THREAT and injustice no meet am for this life. Only then will he realize that to even cry for help go drown am faster than swallowing 100 gallons of water … wailers !

How can you make optional payment a compulsory payment and still saying it is not illegality? That's why we have educational authority that regulates activities of greedy people (proprietress in this case). If government investigates the school now and close it down temporarily or order the school to pay some penalties, the school owner will begin to beg and wail

The school can expel students just because they don’t like how the parents dressed for PTA. Yes! It’s a private owned business, take that to the bank!

Its high time Lagos state assembly enact laws to moderate the activities of these private schools. It has to be nationwide. Any erring school should have their licence withdrawn.
These school extort parents at every opportunity. Is it a must to party? The pupils are there to learn, not to attend parties.
This is a kalaluta country where everybody behave anyhow.

I'm into business and omoh, I don't mind loosing 10 customers to keep my trademark intact. Let me share a scenario. Been a Christian, I make sure my hands are free of any anomaly. Their happen to be this driver who used to buy PMS in my station. I suppose he was not okay with the service of a new staff one day and he started telling other drivers to boycott it as my Meter and my fuel is adulterated. I started this business renting fuelling stations years back and a man out of bitterness will just ruin it. I told my manager to reach out to the man and even pacify him with some incentives. Next time baba came luckily I was on ground as those tanker boys no dey disburse wetin them send them. They sell some off along the way. Baba started is shenanigans again. This time he was like they should give him 30naira change. Very flimsy thing the man was trying to create a scene on. I just walked over greeted him and gave him is full cash though they already sold the fuel inside is bus tank. I told him he can leave and baba was shocked. After much ado etc he left. I told my folks never to sell or allow him entry again. I lost 20k that day but if he wasn't checked, he would have used that nonsensical radicalism to push better customers away. I still see the man by and that doesn't stop me from greeting him if need be.

They charge millions and pay teachers 50K. Nobody knows what they do with the money

Hear yourself! How did that look even to you? Because you run a private school or business doesn't mean that you are free to extort your customers or the public.
Do you even know that government regulation of schools and education cover private schools as well? When your school is closed down, you will realise that you are bound by regulation

You're the one acting too emotional. Private schools don't just expel. They count their gain by number of students they can get. For the authority to expel her wards then the woman needs to be checked. But then, Nigerians as usual. MORE EMOTIONAL than WISE.

The extortion from private schools currently is so annoying. Government should look into this matter.

TotoIsGud4boy:

Lol. The school or any business owner can do what they like as long as the authority in charge of the regulation is not aware of their activities.

All these private schools are something else. Na Baptist school I jejelly carry my boy go even as a muslim. My primary and secondary education were from one Baptist school to the other and that doesn't change me from practicing islam. Instead, I was well informed about the two religions. Na me dey carry first for my primary school including CRK those years.
